Hello from the beautiful foothills of the Rockies near Evergreen, Colorado. I signed up because I love to debate the animal rights issue ( I'm anti- AR ) and this looks like a pretty active forum. I am an avid outdoorsman: all types of hunting, fishing, camping and the like are a big part of my life. I am also a wildlife biologist by education ( B.S. with minor in forestry from Colorado State University ), so I am very interested in the AR movement's irrational assault on the sportsman's lifestyle as well as scientifically-based wildlife management. My wife is a nurse ( R.N., University of Colorado ) working in oncology, so I'm also interested in AR's very dangerous, and equally irrational, assault on animal based scientific research.

It's good to see you here. Brian recently redid AR.net, but it doesn't look like it ever quite recovered from all the spamming that killed discussion.

True,

Cobie was here a few days ago and I gave her the new link to the site. She made a couple of posts but nothing in reply yet. We try to keep the spammers at bay but it is a big job. I do not see Brian being able to deal with them by himself based on our experiences.
